Nobody knows... not me, not you... If folks would just isolate now (and I mean everyone not essential) then in 3 weeks we can be back to normal.
First off, to all Briefers...it is most likely there will NEVER be normal again as we once knew it. This is not going to be the end, this might be the end of the beginning. Three pandemics from China, and what, you think this is going to disappear into the woodwork. That may fall into the category of wishful thinking. And you think this is the last pandemic from China? Really? The next one will come sooner than you think.
It is imperative for us to understand these totalitarian nations. Losing people means nothing. People have absolutely no value. That is part of the reason China was slow to react. And the idiot liberals in the USA are looking for any reason to blame Trump. A measly Trainer from the CDC working in China may well have prevented this. Right!!!! Have we become that f*&^ing stupid as a nation?
I hope this last no more than 2 weeks, but I suspect it will go 4-5 weeks. If this economic shutdown last more than 4-5 weeks, Donald Trump would not be able to get elected dog catcher. For the first time in all this, someone addressed the destruction of the living, that the living would suffer greater losses than those caused by the virus.
The Next Generation with Steve Hilton on Fox News, Steve said enough is enough, we will end up with millions lost from the economic life shutdown. So I say 4-5 weeks, and then the damage is long lasting and destroys the Republicans in November. And I for one do not want an escapee from the assisted living home as POTUS.
And let's get serious, there is no evidence we are on track with Italy. NONE!! Watch the analysis by Liz Wheeler, and tell me I am wrong. She is the best in journalism today from my point of view.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oeGjXFyaXisPeople like Dr Marty Makary, from John Hopkins is lazy. His analysis, 2 million dead, is nothing but to declare we are doomed like Italy. No wonder Trump wants to bite the heads off these jerk*ffs!!! Same goes for the anti Trump media. I want them gone. Keep Trump and flush these f*&^ers right out of the WH Press Corp, and good riddance. At a minimum, displace the anti Trumpers by half and replace them with folks from conservative media to at least have a balanced media.
Trump's wishful thinking this virus is going away is not reality. We need to adopt policies to protect the vulnerable as much as possible, and life must resume. We had 60 million get H1N1 and 13,000 deaths and virtually nothing was done to change society. This panic is bullshit. Implement policies to protect the vulnerable, start using the drugs that have an indication of helping, i.e. the malaria drugs, and resume living. Last but not least, begin a policy to curb trade with China. Repatriate all pharma to start by executive order as a policy of national security. Begin bringing back all industry that has anything to do with DOD. ANYTHING...that will be a huge sector, and end education in the USA for Chinese nationals, including employment here. END THE THEFT OF $500 billion worth of intellectual property.
China is a rogue nation, and it is time the USA leads the world away from these cretins.
3 months, not 6 months will end this virus...all wishful thinking, and the living will not survive. Most household live paycheck to paycheck, and even 2 weeks shutdown is catastrophic!!! That is why Trump loses if it goes 4-5 weeks. The damage done will be long lasting, far beyond November!!!
